Kaladesh is the 72nd Magic expansion, and the first in the Kaladesh block. It will be released on September 30, 2016,[3] and is a large expansion.
Set details
Kaladesh premieres Planeswalker decks, which replace Intro packs. The Fat pack is reimagined as the Kaladesh Bundle. [4]
Although Wizards of the Coast used the ligature Æ — the A and E combined into one letter — for æther (aether) since the beginning of the game, this was changed for Kaladesh, which features the stuff heavily. According to Blake Rasmussen, it caused way more issues than it was worth (particularly in translation). [5]
Storyline
| “ | Invent your Tomorrow | ” |
Kaladesh (first glimpsed in Magic Origins as the birthplane of Chandra Nalaar) is an ethnically diverse plane where natural mages are rare. [6] Work that would be done with magic on other planes is instead accomplished through devices. [7] The automatons, thopters and other artifact creatures of the plane are fueled by aether, which is heavily trafficked. Artifacts are built as much for beauty as for function. Fire magic is strictly banned, and pyromancy punishable with a death sentence. [8]
Kaladesh is ruled by Consuls. Their forces and works are nearly omnipresent.
